Will LG Twins foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez rebound this time.

LG foreign pitchers are clearly different from each other. Chirinos, the first starter, has started quality games in all four games, and is recognized as an ace with three wins, no loss, and a 1.80 ERA.스포츠토토

But Hernandez is the opposite.

He earned the glorious nickname "El Dong-won" for his fifth consecutive appearance in the semi-playoff last year and pitched seven scoreless innings in his first appearance this year, but he has been pointed out as the "only weakness" in the LG Twins starters due to his poor performance in two consecutive games since then.

Hernández is desperate. LG, which is ranking first, had three losses, and two of them were recorded in his pitching. Until LG lost at the Doosan Bears on Wednesday, he had both of his team's losses.

He turned into a bullpen pitcher in the semi-playoff against KT Wiz last year and appeared in all five games, showing a perfect pitch with two saves and one hold, zero ERA, leading the team to advance to the playoffs, and in the playoff against Samsung, he took the mound following starter Lim Chan-kyu in Game 3 and kept his team's only victory by allowing two hits, one walk, and five strikeouts in as many as three ⅔ innings.

In recognition of his strong fighting spirit, he renewed his contract and prepared well as starting pitcher El Dong-won this season. "I've had a speed limit between pitches. Last year, I was preparing for a fastball but was hit by a slider with less speed limit, but this year, I will not get caught in a fastball swing as I put a speed limit on it," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said before the upcoming season.

In two exhibition games, he pitched a stable zero ERA with one win and one run (non-earned) in nine ⅓ innings, and expectations grew as he took the first win against Hanwha in Jamsil on March 25, his first appearance with one hit and eight strikeouts in seven innings.

However, he failed to pass the first inning of the match against Suwon KT on April 2, the second time, and became a losing pitcher by allowing five hits (one homer), three walks, one strikeout and eight runs during ⅔ innings, and lost the game against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on April 9, again by allowing four hits (three homers), three walks, four strikeouts and four runs during five ⅓ innings. He has one win, two losses and an 8.31 ERA in three games this season.

Until then, LG only lost when Hernandez lost and won all the other games.

In his fourth game, he returned to Jamsil, where he garnered his first win by displaying good pitching. He will start in a home game against the Samsung Lions on Saturday. As it is a game against Jamsil and a game against Samsung that he threw well in the playoffs last year, he will be able to throw in a comfortable state of mind.

Catcher Park Dong-won, who is keeping pace with him, said, "Other pitchers throw well, so you can feel pressured. Ellie is in a tough situation right now, but I believe other pitchers will do well when they are in a tough situation," adding, "Aren't you a guaranteed player? Didn't you see him during the postseason? I have to throw 27 more times, but I won't keep throwing like this," believing in Hernandez's revival.
